Anything, and I mean ANYTHING that can help me speed up my morning routine is a must-try. So when I heard about the Goody Quik Style Paddle Brush, a tool with microfiber bristles that works to remove 30% of water as you style, across a variety of hair types, I was quite intrigued to see what it could do for my tresses. Described as a towel and brush in one, the microfibers absorb water while the wide paddle lets you span a wide section of hair at once.
It possesses side vents to help with air flow, and most DEFINITELY got my drying time down a few minutes! As I need to usually infuse quite a bit of volume and bounce to my hair, I used the brush until my hair was about 95% dry, then finished it off with my favorite large barrel round brush. Not only would I recommend this Quick Styly Paddle Brush, but its now become a part of my daily hair-drying ritual! At $11.99 (available at national retailers like Target, CVS, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, more), it seems like a small price to pay to save what I did, at 3 minutes a day, which adds up to about 90 minutes a month, that I could spend actually making the train to work on time or having a quick cup of coffee in the morning with my fiancé
What do you think – would you try the new Goody Quik Style Paddle Brush?

We can conceive of “beauty and brains,” but never did we ponder “beauty and action-figures!” Marvel Custom Solutions has teamed up withBenefit Cosmetics to co-create SpyGal, a wise-cracking, pore-zapping persona modeled after the POREfessional pore minimizing primer.
The POREfessional ($29) is a beauty sensation, with over 1 million products sold worldwide. Can the super hero keep up with that? The packaging now depicts a sexy, vintage female action figure, and her weapons of choice? A pore-zapping gun and a touch-up case, naturally. Marvel and Benefit united a creative team including famed writer James Asmus (of Uncanny X-Men, Captain America) and acclaimed artist Phil Noto (Avengers: The Origin, X-Men Origins) to bring SpyGal to life.
SpyGal will contend with work and dating worries, while dishing out justice, and of course, beauty tips! The limited edition comic is available in May at Benefit counters everywhere.
Humor, strength and intelligence are the newest beauty remedy — and we are certainly not complaining.
